"As a teen, Chef Rogelio Garcia used to ride his bicycle past The French Laundry. His aunt lived a block away and he always wondered, “Why are those people so dressed up?” Fast forward a few years, and he learned the answer—by working there, along with several other top spots. Now he helms Auro at the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley in Calistoga. Chef Garcia was brought in early, helping to design the restaurant that overlooks the 4.7-acre vineyard of Elusa Winery, best known for Cabernet and Syrah. “It was an empty space and I wanted to create a fine dining restaurant—I’ve always wanted to do that,” he says." - Nancy DePalma
